Big Island

When asked which is my favorite island to spend time on, I always am able to say without question that is it Hawai’i, the Big Island. I love everything about this amazing land from the volcanoes to the coffee, the wildlife in the water to the i’iwi birds singing in the forest. The Big Island is my jam and my ultimate happy place.

Many people who’ve traveled to Hawaii multiple times have only ever been to Oahu or Maui. Yes, each Island is special and the two most popular islands are that way for a reason, but the feeling on the Big Island is different and feels so special. There are so many things to do in Kailua-Kona, Hilo, Waimea… It’s an incredible place to visit.
